Continuing its commemorative programming for the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, the Charleston Museum is teaming up with the Carolina Ladies Aid Society to offer a Civil War Fashion Try-on event. On Saturday, July 7 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., discover what it was like to wear those wide mid-19th century hoops or how comfortable the seemingly endless layers of clothing or wool uniforms felt. The Carolina Ladies Aid Society will set up a photographer's studio and have dresses, men's jackets, children's clothing, hats, bonnets, fans, and more available for try-on. The museum's photographer will take guests' formal portrait in the mid-19th century carte de visite style. Guests are encouraged to bring their cameras as well. This Civil War living history program is free with general Museum admission ($10/adult, $5/child 3-12, under three and members free). For more information, please visit www.charlestonmuseum.org or call 722-2996.
